Mac OS X: Add contact service (CardDAV) in Contacts.app

Important notes:

• SOGo provides EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) support, but not EWS (Exchange Web Service).
• BlackBerry 10 supports EAS, so it works very well with SOGo, it syncs mails, calendars, contacts, tasks, memos.
• Apple Mail.app, and Outlook 2008/2011 for Mac support EWS. But not EAS.
• Outlook 2010 for Windows supports MAPI.
• Outlook 2013 for Windows supports MAPI to talk to MS Exchange and EAS to talk to Hotmail/Outlook.com, but don't support EAS to talk to non-Exchange servers.
• iRedMail-0.9.0 doesn't integrate OpenChange and Samba4 for native MAPI support, so SOGo groupware in iRedMail doesn't provide full support for Microsoft Outlook clients, Mac OS X Mail.app and all iOS devices, don't try to add your mail account as an Exchange account in these mail clients. You have to add separate POP3/IMAP account, caldav/carddav account instead.

Requirements

• iRedMail-0.9.0 or later releases is required.
• To use contact service (CardDAV protocol), you must choose to install SOGo groupware during iRedMail installation.
